People in favour of diluting human womb owners' legal 'personhood' rights like to use the framing of pregnancy as justification. The actual existence of a born individual in a society is denigrated in favour of enabling legal 'personhood' for the gestating potentiality of 'homo sapiens sapiens' replicating cells triggered by initially successful union of haploid cells.
This dilution of extant power in favour of potentiality is touted as something that makes society stronger and better and womb owners scientifically happier and healthier.
It occurred to me where else this argument is offered. Homeopathy. Homeopathy is an alternative 'medical' practise where repeated dilution of a substance is said to make its efficacy as a a health cure incredibly potent , while negative side effects are completely neutralized.
Less is more . It might explain why social conservatives are so often all about the fetus and not about a born baby or the woman forced to carry it to term. There's too much humanity in the born forms, not diluted enough. But diploid cells? A zygote? Not even implanted yet? That's the kind of diluted cellular count Legal Persons they can invest their time and money in. The quack science for dilution of rights and solutions seems to be pulled from the same rebutted holes. I wonder how much overlap there is in the camps of belief?
When will the homeopaths lobbying Harper's government be getting a debate in Parliament?
